I recently read that Robert Kennedy left the Ambassado Hotel through the kitchen to avoid taking a more crowded route. In the kitchen, Sirhan Sirhan was waiting.What would have happened if Kenedy had decided to shake hands with the crowd? I read a piece in an AH anthology that said that Humphrey faced would have changed his public views on Vietnam in June 1968,just as he did OTL in September 1968.HHH would win the nomination and then ask Kennedy to be his running mate and the Humphrey Kennedy ticket would win.I agree with that scenario. I would take it further to speculate that Vice President Kennedy would lose the electon of 1976,due the bad economy but come back four years later and win in a time of an even worse economy and a hostage crisis. He enjoys high popularity during two terms marked by peace and prosperity. hHis high approval raitings help him push through an ambitious program of social reform and civil rights.
